Back seat driving: hindlimb corticospinal neurons assume forelimb control following ischaemic stroke [PDF]
Whereas large injuries to the brain lead to considerable irreversible functional impairments, smaller strokes or traumatic lesions are often associated with good recovery.

A shared neural network for emotional expression and perception: An anatomical study in the macaque monkey [PDF]
Over the past two decades, the insula has been described as the sensory interoceptive cortex. As a consequence, human brain imaging studies have focused on its role in the sensory perception of emotions.

Unmasking of latent synaptic connections in the cortex of the rat, elicited by a facial nerve transection [PDF]
Peripheral nerve injury elicits plastic changes in the cortex, resulting in reorganization of the somatotopic representation maps. These processes begin within minutes after nerve injury, and last for weeks.

Systematic assessment of training-induced changes in corticospinal output to hand using frameless stereotaxic transcranial magnetic stimulation. [PDF]
Measuring changes in the characteristics of corticospinal output has become a critical part of assessing the impact of motor experience on cortical organization in both the intact and injured human brain.

Long-term stability of sensitivity to intracortical microstimulation of somatosensory cortex
The dexterous manipulation of objects depends heavily on somatosensory signals from the limb. The development of anthropomorphic robotic arms and of algorithms to decode intended movements from neuronal signals has stimulated the need to restore somatosensation for use in upper-limb neuroprostheses.

Sensitivity to microstimulation of somatosensory cortex distributed over multiple electrodes
Meaningful and repeatable tactile sensations can be evoked by electrically stimulating primary somatosensory cortex. Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) may thus be a viable approach to restore the sense of touch in individuals who have lost it, for ...

Modeling Dynamic Receptive Field Changes Produced by Intracortical Microstimulation
Intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) of a localized site in the somatosensory cortex of rats and monkeys produces reorganization of receptive field (RF) topography over a large region of the cortex.1 ICMS excites nearly all afferents and excitatory and inhibitory cortical neurons within a few microns of the stimulating electrode.

Summary: Although control of movement involves many cortical association areas, bidirectional brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) typically decode movement intent from the motor cortex and deliver feedback information to the primary somatosensory cortex (S1).

Target Selection by Frontal Cortex During Coordinated Saccadic and Smooth Pursuit Eye Movement [PDF]
Oculomotor tracking of moving objects is an important component of visually based cognition and planning. Such tracking is achieved by a combination of saccades and smooth pursuit eye movements.
